American Idol Pastor Leesa Bellesi: I've Received Death Threats for Spreading Faith
OC Pastor Ministering to 'American Idol' Contestants Talks Faith and Cyber Bullying With CP
American Idol Pastor Leesa Bellesi: I've Received Death Threats for Spreading Faith
"American Idol" contestants need spiritual support and need to be ministered to, claims Leesa Bellesi, who is also known as the "Idol Pastor." The Orange County-based minister found herself convinced at one point, six years ago, that she should take up the task to protect the young contestants' faith and mental health from the cruelty of the industry and, as it later became clear, from cyber bullying, she has told The Christian Post.
Bellesi decided to get involved with "American Idol" during season five, after a string of occurrences which, she is convinced, were God's doing.
From being serendipitously linked to her first contestant, Katharine McPhee, in her husband's church in 2006 through the Bible verse from Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you plans to give you a hope and a future," to opening her home for the contestants' families, Bellesi has worked behind the scenes of the popular reality TV show for the past seven seasons.
It was her calling to minister to the participants, she publicly announced at the beginning of her mission, and she sticks to that to this day. She founded an exclusive online ministry – the American Idol Ministry- for that purpose. The ministry's website is available only to contestants.
"God absolutely put me in this situation but I'm coming from an aspect of really being a servant and extending oneself in your money, in your stuff, in your time," Bellesi told CP.
When ministering to the Idols, Bellesi encourages the Christian contestants to pick their favorite scripture passages.
"Jordin Sparks does that, she always has from the beginning," she told CP. "It wasn't something I told her to but her favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11 and that verse brought her and I together."
Bellesi gave Sparks as well as other contestants silver bracelets custom-made by her friend Deborah Harter, a jewelry designer specializing in designs inspired by the Bible. Throughout the show, contestants can be seen wearing the jewelry featuring Scripture passages.
"I worked in the [show business] industry for a long time and God propped me there," she said. Bellesi used to work for award shows in the Los Angeles area and "was among Oscar-winners" on almost a regular basis, she told CP. That kind of environment put her in situations where she had to "be intentional on how I was gracious to them and serve them and always be able to serve the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich. No matter where you are. No matter where God puts you. That is our calling as Christians."
"I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, it's not like I was transplanted," she emphasized. "I've been around. I grew up with kids that went to my high school that went to be very famous actors. So I knew they were just like everybody else. We're all in a need of a Savior. No-one is any different than anybody else. I think everybody on their journey is going to be confronted with eternity."
But the world of show business is full of traps and ill-willed people, she explained. There is far more negativity online surrounding the "American Idol" contestants than most realize, Bellesi told CP. She calls the world of "trolls" – people who occupy themselves with putting others down by anonymous commentary online – "a dark, evil world." Not only her spiritual "kids," as she calls the "American Idol" contestants, but she herself had to face that dark world.
"I always remind them [the contestants], that that girl who says she's 17, her name is Amy, she's from Ohio and she says something critical, it's really a 52-year-old man wearing sweats and living in his Mom's basement. And his whole goal is to destroy the emotional stability of that person," she said.
Trolling has to be ignored, she added. "I watch people write horrible things about these kids," she said. "It's evil. ... God loves unity and he loves peace makers."
Bellesi told CP that she experienced a lot of hatred from the online community by ministering online.
She and husband Denny, a preacher, founded the Kingdom Assignment ministry in 2000, a non-denominational online ministry sharing inspirational stories of its members. The ministry was featured in People Magazine and on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Kingdom Assignment hosts annual "The Well Done" awards, where "we celebrate people who do good things that are maybe unrecognized sometimes by other people," Bellesi said. In relation to that initiative, Bellesi has received actual death threats, she told CP. People would comment on her YouTube clips or other online media: "I am going to kill you," which even prompted her to call the police at one point.
The minister also experienced criticism from those who said that by associating herself with "American Idol" she was looking for profits for her ministries. Bellesi denied she had ever received any major financial gains through the ministry.
"The finances, the money has always come from us," she told CP. "Occasionally we've had people that had helped us," by making their cars available or offering gas money, for example, she said. But she never "passed the plate" among the contestants' families and others, she assured. She did not need to. "God has an ability-- when he knows that your heart is right for it, or if you have the influence, you have the ability to accomplish something, then he will connect the dots. That's exactly what happened to me," she said.
A number of contestants' families were also camping in her house during competitions and cheering their children. At that time, they were all living, eating and praying together like a big family, Bellesi described.
Though the accusations of her trying to profiteer were "hard" for her, Bellesi did not "go around answering the blogs," the main platform on which anyone could freely and anonymously criticize her. She quoted Exodus 14:14 to CP –"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."
"This is what You called me to do and I'm gonna do it," Bellesi kept repeating to herself, she revealed.
She also emphasized that her idea of introducing a show business-friendly ministry is nothing new, pointing out the Hollywood Prayer Network and MasterMedia Ministries.
Bellesi ended up behind the scenes of "American Idol" by what most see as a string of uncanny coincidences, but what she is convinced is proof that God wanted her to be there to bring spiritual support to the contestants. The minister had suffered an accident after a clown fell on her during a Cirque du Soleil show, leaving her bed-ridden and in pain for three years. When she encountered "American Idol" during her recovery, and when serendipitous events started taking place-- like Katharine McPhee attending her husband's service, Bellesi chance-winning a pass to the show just at the right time, or stumbling upon Paula Abdul by accident-- she became convinced about her calling.
"We're all just going where the Lord sends us. Some are sent on missions around the world. Somehow I was sent to 'American Idol'," Bellesi told Richard Rushfield, author of the book American Idol: The Untold Story, which includes a chapter telling her own unusual story.

World of Macaws
(Hook Bills)
Macaws are considered to be the most intelligent of all birds and are called by
many biologists the FLYING PRIMATES. This WORLD specializes in eight species/subspecies
of Large Macaws.
Common Name: Scarlet Macaw
Genus/Species: Ara macao
From southwest Mexico throughout South America as far south as northern Bolivia, southern Peru and central Brazil; Central America, Panama and northern Columbia;
and central and northern Brazil.
Natural Habitat:
Wooded riparian zones, swamps, virgin forests and savannas.
A true forest bird, feeding in the treetops.
Physical Appearance:
Regardless of size, all macaws are characterized by strong beaks, long pointed tails, loud voices, and a
facial area of bare skin called the cheek patch. They signal anger or unease
by blushing. The cheek patch in the Scarlet Macaw is white. Their
plumage is predominately rich scarlet. The central part of the wing is
yellow. The primary and secondary feathers are blue, and the lower rump
and back are light blue. The tail is scarlet with the shorter under
feathers being blue.
They generally lay one or three eggs in two- or three- day intervals.
All macaws are devoted family
birds, mating for life and looking after their young even after they are grown. They are altricial at birth.
The young are vigorous even when young.
The little macaws beg for food by flinging their wings and giving loud
cries. The parent responds by grasping
baby's beak at an angle; the young bird pumps away, taking food from the parent's
crop into its own. The most disturbing discovery made about macaws is their low
reproductive capacity in the wild.
There may be as few as 15 to 25 young born each year to a group of 100 breeding
pairs. Babies have tiny black feathers on
their cheeks, later they fall out and are replaced with white feathers (and it
looks like there are no facial feathers).
STATUS in Natural Habitat:
Endangered in most areas of its natural habitat.
Cool Fact:
Considered by many the king of all Macaws, Scarlets have been hunted by man for
centuries, thus the birds are very wary and keep a great distance from man
making it very difficult to track and record.

Under this summer's debt-limit compromise, $1.2 trillion will automatically be cut if the panel does not act. Can Congress circumvent that requirement?
House and Senate lawmakers would likely rethink allowing some budget cuts to be triggered automatically if the so-called deficit "supercommittee" fails to come up with at least $1.2 trillion in savings, or if Congress fails approve such a plan by Dec. 23, a member of the panel predicted on Sunday.
Appearing on "Fox News Sunday," Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) insisted he is not giving up on the chances that the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction can make its Nov. 23 deadline for agreement on a plan to give to the rest of Congress to consider. That hopeful sentiment was echoed by the committee's co-chairman, Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas.), speaking Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union"--although his panel's deadline is just 10 days away.
But Toomey said that if agreement is not reached on how to cut at least $1.2 trillion from the nation's deficit over the next decade, "I think a lively debate will occur" over whether to allow the automatic cuts take place--so-called sequestration--despite President Obama's insistence on Friday he would not go along with any attempt to turn them off.
Toomey said that "in the very very unfortunate event that we don't, I think it's very likely that Congress would reconsider the configuration of that sequestration, and consider is this really the best way to do it?" Toomey said.
He added that the debate likely would be about the "nature of those cuts--which I think the cuts have to occur, but they might occur in a different fashion."
Toomey's comments come amid growing speculation that Congress could change the breakdown of the $1.2 trillion in cuts that would automatically kick in if the panel and lawmakers fail to reach a deal--half of which would come from the Pentagon and the other half from domestic programs. Republicans, in particular, have complained that such automatic cuts would be particularly harmful to the military.
To counter such talk, the White House put out a statement Friday underscoring its position that sequestration was put in place to help force a deal to slash the debt, and should not be reconsidered.
Members of the committee acknowledge that as of this weekend, they were not close to bipartisan agreement--in disputes over levels of cuts to entitlements and defining and proposing new revenues, including tax increases. But they also insist that they are continuing to work to reach a deal.
Hensarling, during his appearance on "State of the Union," reiterated that for the supercommittee to succeed, lawmakers will have to agree on structural reforms to entitlement programs and tax reform.
Hensarling zeroed in on entitlement spending arguing that Medicaid and Medicare are "disserving their beneficiaries with forms of rationing and driving the country bankrupt." "Republicans put forth a plan in our House budget," he said, referring to the so-called Ryan Plan contained in House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan's budget. Hensarling also said that Republicans would be "willing to negotiate around" the so-called Rivlin-Domenici budget plan put forth by former Democratic White House budget director Alice Rivlin and former Republican Senate Budget Committee chairman Pete Domenici. "This is a plan, bi-partisan plan ... that would also include a provision for future seniors to stay in tradtiioanl fee-for-service Medicare but use the power of patient choice and competition to save and strenghthen the program," Hensarling said.
On revenues, Hensarling suggested that Republicans would be willing to support $250 million in tax increases--which he characterized as closing loopholes--in exchange for tax reform.
"Whatever damage would be done by $250 billion of new taxes we think would be offset by a system that would help create jobs," he said.
But during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," another panel member, Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), took a swipe at the so-called "dynamic scoring" that some Republican members of the deficit reduction committee reportedly are considering as a way to estimate how changes in tax policy might generate changes in the economy.
"We've got to come up with a plan that [the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office] will score," said Clyburn, as opposed, he said, to "dynamic growth." Clyburn said, "Let's take this down to actual numbers, tax cuts, tax increases, entitlement cuts and entitlement increases."
But Clyburn also acknowledged that even the six Democrats on the committee aren't in agreement with each other.
"The fact of the matter is democrats have not coalesced around a plan," admitted Clyburn. But he also said, "Republicans don't have a [singular] plan."
"I think we are there to develop a bipartisan plan," he said.
"It's been a roller coaster ride. I will say this: I respect my Democrat colleagues. ... We haven't given up hope," said Hensarling during his CNN appearance.
Meanwhile, one member of the Senate's so-called bipartisan Gang of Six argued on Sunday that if the deficit supercommittee fails, then Congress should turn to proposals put forward over the summer by the group that call for nearly $4 trillion in cuts over 10 years.
"We've tried this congressional process. I think we need to let that play itself out. We want to be there to support it. We want that supercommittee to be successful, but if they're not successful we think that the Simpson-Bowles approach or the Gang of Six something that has got that $4 trillion number. That ought to at least get a vote as well," Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) said "State of the Union."
The Gang of Six, which includes Senate Minority Leader Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), and Sens. Warner, Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.), and Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) issued the outlines of a plan, based on the Simpson-Bowles report, that called for $3.7 trillion in deficit reduction over 10 years. The plan failed to reach the critical threshold of 60 votes in the Senate. Coburn, also appearing on the program Sunday morning, said he sees failure in the order of what happened in Greece if Congress and the president cannot reach agreement on the deficit.
"Then fact is if you go back and look at two years ago at what they were writing about Greece. it's exactly what they're writing about us today," Coburn said.

Skinner has been out since suffering a concussion in the clubs exhibition finale on Oct. 5. The Hurricanes have started the season 0-2-2 without Skinner and dont play again until next Tuesday at Winnipeg to start a four-game western Canada road trip. The 2011 Calder Trophy winner collected a career-high 33 goals along with 54 points in 71 games last year, his fourth in the NHL. Carolina also assigned forwards Patrick Brown and Brody Sutter to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League. Both players made their NHL debuts this season. Joey Bosa Womens Jersey . It was the quickest three-goal sequence in Olympic history, with the latter two coming just eight seconds apart.

Doug Flutie Youth Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. GLASGOW -- There was a moment Wednesday night when Derek Drouin was waiting to make his final attempt in high jump. In the tunnel to the track, Brianne Theisen-Eaton and Jessica Zelinka were waiting for their final event of the heptathlon. All action had paused for a medal ceremony. It was for Canadian Jim Steacys gold medal in the hammer throw from the previous night. The "O Canada" moment wasnt lost on any of them. "The national anthem played right before my last attempt and I thought, If this isnt going to get me pumped up I dont know whats going to," Drouin said. Drouin and Theisen-Eaton would both go on to claim gold, while Jessica Zelinka won silver in the heptathlon and Mike Mason took bronze in the high jump. Julie Labonte added a bronze in shot put for a five-medal night for Canada at the track. "When we were in the tunnel ... I was listening to the Canadian anthem and thinking, An hour and that could be me," Theisen-Eaton said. Drouin, from Corunna, Ont., cleared 2.31 metres to win his first major international high jump title, while Mason, from Nanoose Bay, B.C., won the bronze with 2.25 metres. Theisen-Eaton won the heptathlon with a score of 6,597 and Zelinka scored 6,270 for silver. "We got four medals in the span of about two minutes there, so were definitely moving in the right direction. Good things are happening," Drouin said. "And Mike and I got to pass our (Canadian) flags on to the heptathlon girls, so it was a pretty special five minutes there." Added Theisen-Eaton: "All of a sudden, all of once, Scott (MacDonald, Athletics Canadas high performance director) was trying to give everybody flags. Good problem to have." After another strong day, Canada remained in third place in the overall medal standings with 51 medals (22 gold, seven silver, 22 bronze). Australia leads with 106 medals, one more than England. David Tremblay of Windsor, Ont., won gold in the mens 61-kilogram category, Dori Yeats of Montreal won the womens 69-kilo title and Arjun Gill of Surrey, B.C., won gold in the mens 97-kilo event. Jill Gallays of Saskatoon and Braxton Stone-Papadopoulos of Pickering, Ont., won bronze medals. Gallays finished third in the womens 53-kilo category and Stone-Papadopoulos was third in the womens 58-kilo class. In diving, Montreals Meaghan Benfeito and Roseline Filion of Laval, Que., won gold in the womens synchronized 10-metre platform. Lavals Jennifer Abel and Pamela Ware of Beloeil, Que., later added silver in the three-metre springboard. The 24-year-old Drouin, who won bronze at both the 2012 London Olympics and 2013 world championships, had hoped to go higher. Hes broken the Canadian record three times in less than a year, and in his first meet this season, cleared 2.40 metres to join an exclusive club -- only about a dozen jumpers in history have jumped that high. It wasnt to be on a blustery night at Hampden Park, as he missed all three attempts at 2.35. "I would really love to jump 2.40 again. Id like to get up to those high heights again," he said. "I think we got a taste of what Scottish weather was like," he added, of the conditions. "It was funny, within a matter of about two minutes we had a problem of rain and then the sun being in our eyes. Its just what you have to deal with, it obviously wasnt perfect but we dealt with it." Theisen-Eaton, a 25-year-old from Humboldt, Sask., won five of the seven events -- high jump, shot put, 200 metres, long jump and the 800 -- over the two days for her first major international victory. She won silver at both last years world indoor and outdoor world championships. "So this gold medal makes me really happy,"t; she said.dddddddddddd "I always said I dont think I would get choked up but I had to fight back a few tears (on the podium). Its just representing your country and knowing everybody back home is happy and watching and supporting you. It feels really good." Theisen-Eatons husband Ashton Eaton -- a world record-holder and Olympic and world champion in the decathlon -- cheered her on from the stands. The American even wore a Canada T-shirt. "Ashton obviously knows what its like to be out there as an athlete, and knows that sometimes its hard to fire yourself up," Theisen-Eaton said. "So at the long jump, he walked over and said, Bri, come here! and I go over there, he was like, Come on, youve got to get fired up for this one! "He just amps me up." The heptathlon marked the first time Theisen-Eaton and Zelinka had battled head-to-head since the London Olympics. The 32-year-old Zelinka, from London, Ont., took last year off from the multi-events, needing a break. Earlier this season, Theisen-Eaton broke Zelinkas Canadian record of 6,599 points, recording 6,641 in Gotzis, Austria. Theisen-Eaton had a virtually unbeatable 326-point lead after six of the seven events, and they capped the two days with a hard-fought 800. Theisen-Eaton won in two minutes 11.46 seconds, Zelinka finishing eight-10ths of a second behind her. "I wanted to be competitive and show Im back, and Im strong mentally in this event," said Zelinka, who won the two events that Theisen-Eaton didnt -- the 100-metre hurdles and javelin. "This is kind of like a little opening ceremonies for me coming back. Its good to play again, it was playing. It was fun." Asked for her reaction to Theisen-Eatons victory, Zelinka said: "No reaction, I knew she could do it. She was second coming in. In the world. I was 20th. So it was no surprise. But I still wanted to challenge her, because thats what we do in heptathlon." Zelinka, who was seventh in both the hurdles and heptathlon in London, almost didnt qualify for Glasgow, as the cut-off date to qualify was June 1. She missed the qualifying standard at a meet in May, so decided at the last minute to try again. "I did a race in Texas at 9 oclock, drove four hours, got to bed at two, started the hep at about 10 oclock the next day just to try again and I got (the qualifying standard)," she said. "I havent not made a national team since I was pregnant, every year Ive been on the national team, and it really means a lot." Zelinka echoed the praise of all the Canadians for the raucous crowd in the 44,000-seat Hampden Park -- normally the home of Scotlands national soccer team, but transformed into the track and field venue for the Games. The noise from the crowd for every event was deafening. "It took us forever to get around that (victory) lap, everyone is so into it here," Zelinka said. "Its such a great crowd, very genuine and very supportive of just great efforts, no matter what country." The 24-year-old Labonte threw 17.58 metres for the shot put bronze. Valerie Adams of New Zealand won the gold with 19.88, while Cleopatra Borel of Trinidad & Tobago was second with 18.57. Canada has 10 medals in track and field, including five gold, with three days of competition to go. The Canadian team brought home 17 medals in the sport from the Games four years ago in New Delhi. Kyriakos Ioannou of Cyprus was second in the high jump with 2.28 metres. Englands Jessica Taylor won heptathlon bronze with a score of 5,826. Labonte threw 17.58 metres. Valerie Adams of New Zealand won the gold with 19.88, while Cleopatra Borel of Trinidad & Tobago was second with 18.57. ' ' '

Please help before I lose my mind! Fuel Problem.
I am about to lose my mind. Here's the story. I have an 02' Boxster S. I fill the tank, and it gets completely full... of course, only after manipulating the stupid pump handle to get the tank full as it shuts off every 2 to 3 gallons.... but I digress. I drive the car thereafter, and it runs perfect! Until.... just below 3/4 tank... should be approximately 4 gallons remaining. And then the car acts like it has freakin' water in the gas.... it quits, or stumbles, and shuts off for a moment, only to catch again... I though...ahhhh, I got water in my gas. So I put some fuel treatment into the tank that is the anti freeze/remove H2O from you tank stuff... I've used this in the past on various hoopties I've owned in the poorer days.... haha. I ran a couple tanks this way, being sure not to get below 3/4 tank.... and today was the day off to experiment by driving below 3/4 tank between to strategically located gas stations. Oh, I forgot to mention that when this crap happens... just a single gallon of gas, and the car runs like new again.... anyway... today, at just a tad under the 3/4 tank level... the car freakin' died, and absolutely would not restart until I put 2 gallons of gas into the tank... than like new again. I called someone that has worked on my car before... too far to drive at this point to be practical.... and he suggested maybe the fuel filter was clogged or the fuel pump was on the way out. I just finished searching every Boxster forum I could find, and the impending signs of fuel pump failure are nothing like this at all... But putting in a fuel additive does nothing! HELP!!!! I'm going to sit here and drink Sam Adams Cherry Wheat until someone replies! I'm going nutz! Thanks in advance.

Stupid question for my own understanding:
You write that at 3/4 there should 4 gallons remaining
The Boxster has a 16 gallon tank....

Quick question. If you remove and replace the gas cap does it then run?
The fact that you have trouble filling up may indicate a vent issue.

I replaced the gas cap shortly after purchasing the car as the o ring inside the gas cap was dry drotted... car runs perfect so long as I don't go below 3/4 of a tank of gas.... it was the dry rot on the gas cap that lead me to believe that there was likely water in the gas tank. .....

I just realized what you were asking... yes, today, when the engine quit, I unscrewed the gas cap, and screwed it back on... made no difference... would not start until I put in new gas...

Hmmmm.... maybe I need to supply more specific information.... gas in the tank. completely full. drive... until only 1/4 tank remains. than engine dies, until I add a minimum of 1 gallon of gas... than runs perfect.... like a stallion. changed the gas cap shortly after buying the car... this problem existed since I bought the car... so the problem was before AND after I changed the gas cap... just won't run at all when the gas level is below 1/4th tank.

Wow, pretty snippy for someone asking for help....
Getting the "semantics" straight, helps us help you
It may be a venting issue since you say you have issues getting gas into the car. I had a similar issue and had to have the flapper valve in my gas tank filler neck modified. There is a TSB about this issue.
Or you have a tank fuel pickup issue...sounds as if the pickup has been raised in the tank creating what would be similar to being out of gas. Perhaps it has come loose or was repositioned somehow incorrectly.

Not sure....you would need to take it to a shop....but it sure sounds like a pickup issue to me.
Would seem if it were a fuel pump going bad, it would happen intermittently at any fuel level.

Fire breaks at Huntington auto repair shop
Firefighters doused a Friday afternoon blaze at a Huntington auto repair shop that injured a worker and destroyed at least five vehicles.
The fire at Tilden Car Care Center, 800 New York Ave., began after a portable light broke, according to the center owner, Joe Montefusco.
Montefusco said one of his employees sustained second-degree burns and was treated at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
Firefighters from Huntington Manor and Huntington responded to the fire at 2:42 p.m., officials said. The blaze took a couple of hours to put out.
Police sealed off the immediate area, concerned that the fire could spread or the cars inside the repair shop might explode.
Shakera Hobb, 25, was washing clothes in an adjacent building when she was evacuated.
"I've never seen a fire that big," she said.

Government of Canada launches call for proposals for the Canadian International Institute for Extractive Industries and Development
OTTAWA, Canada, June 20, 2012/African Press Organization (APO)/ -- Today, the Honourable Beverley J. Oda, Minister of International Cooperation, launched the Call for Proposals for the new Canadian International Institute for Extractive Industries and Development (CIIEID).
In October 2011, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that the CIIEID would be created to help strengthen natural resource governance in resource-rich developing countries in order to support their sustainable economic growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty. The Institute will also help developing countries improve their capacity to manage and implement responsible policies and regulations.
The Institute will be hosted at a Canadian university and will act as a centre for Canadian and world-class expertise in improving and strengthening in-country resource governance and management. The Institute will offer programs that include country-level needs assessment in extractive sector governance and management, assistance in developing or improving policies, planning and implementation of legislation and regulations, and provide technical assistance and training to help build capacity within governments.
"Canada has a long history and global expertise in the extraction of natural resources and Canadian universities are highly qualified to host this world leading institute," said Minister Oda. "The Institute will bring together the best in private sector, government, research and civil society expertise in Canada to help developing countries secure the greatest possible benefit from their natural resources."
The Call for Proposals outlines the selection process to be undertaken to determine the host university for the Institute. An independent multi-sectoral External Advisory Panel will recommend the most qualified proposal.
For information on the Call's application process including eligibility criteria, deadline and detailed review process, please visit the CIDA website.

INCREASES in royalties charged by conservative state governments will cost many mining companies more in the short term than the minerals resource rent tax, the industry's peak body says.
The prediction raises serious questions, both for the federal government's budget estimates and the opposition's argument that Labor's new taxes are to blame for mining's waning international competitiveness.
The Coalition's spokesman on resources, Ian Macfarlane, said a new analysis for the Minerals Council of Australia by Port Jackson Partners, which found that rising costs and falling productivity meant that miners were becoming relatively less competitive, showed the government was treating the industry like a ''cash cow''.
However, the council's chief executive, Mitch Hooke, said that in today's market conditions the $3.3 billion in royalty rises announced this year by the Queensland, NSW and West Australian governments would, over the next four years, cost miners more than the mining tax, which is supposed to raise $13.4 billion in the same period.
State governments had thought that their royalty increases would effectively be paid not by mining companies but by the federal government, which had promised to reimburse miners for the royalty rises that were announced after the mining tax came into effect. With commodity prices falling, many miners think they will not have to pay a federal profits-based tax, meaning the government will not have to reimburse anything because there is no liability to be rebated against.
''In the current market circumstances, the royalty increases are going to be a far bigger impost,'' Mr Hooke said. ''You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that as prices come off, the [mining tax] is going to be very slim pickings, which means there will be no opportunity to rebate the royalty increases.''
Mining companies were incensed when the Queensland government announced coal royalty rises of about $1.6 billion in the next four years, on top of NSW government royalty increases worth $1.5 billion and a West Australian increase of $800 million.

"There is a bookseller in Paris, one Dessain, who has some Character, but who has play'd me a very ugly Trick... [He] will neither send over my Books, nor answer my Letters not take any Notice of me....Tell him I shall prosecute him either myself on my Return to Paris or by Order, if he does not send over my Books & Money."
David Hume, letter to Adam Smith, August, 1766
"Books seem to me to be pestilent things, and infect all who trade in them, i.e. all but one sort of men. Printers, Binders, Sellers and others that make a trade and gain out of them have universally so odde a turne and corruption of mind that they have a way of dealeing peculiar to them selves, and not conformed to the good of society, and that general fairness that cements man kind. Whether it be that these instruments of truth and knowledge will not bear being subjected to any thing but those noble ends, without revengeing them selves on those who medle with them to any other purpose, and prostitute to mean and misbecomeing designes I will not enquire. The matter of fact I think you will find true, and there we will leave it, to those who sully them selves with printers ink, till they wholly expunge all the candor that nature gives, and become the worst sort of Black cattle."

Bike Salesman
Bike Salesman is an side mission in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. The player can access the mission at the Hogs 'n' Cogs business, located in Belleville Park, Staunton Island. It is unlocked after the player completes the mission Driving Mr. Leone. The mission can only be accessed between the times of 8:00 and 18:00. The goal for this dealership is to sell all 40 motorbikes, with each bike having ten in stock. After the player has sold all of them, Hogs 'n' Cogs will pay up to $3,000 in protection money, as it is now an asset.
This side mission is required for completion.
It is pretty much the same as Car Salesman; there are four customers who each want something different in a vehicle (in this case a motorbike), and the player has to show them what it is capable of. Also for this one, every five bikes the player sells will earn the player a bonus.
The customer on the far left wants a vehicle that can run over multiple people and evade the police. The player has to drive around and run over different pedestrians, and lose wanted levels. But for some reason you can run over pedestrians or just drive on the sidewalk around the stadium and around the stadium parking lot. The meter does not decrease, and will increase if the player does the aforementioned things.
The customer next to the one on the far left wants a fast bike. For this one, the player has to drive around the Liberty City Memorial Stadium and back. The meter will decrease with collisions or slow driving.
The customer next to the far right wants a slow bike. The player has to smoothly and rather slowly go around the fire station in Belleville Park. The meter will decrease with slow driving (not moving at all) and collisions.
The customer on the far right wants a bike for off-road uses. The player just has to drive outside paved roads, like sidewalks and grassy areas. The meter will decrease only if you don't drive.
Failing the mission
There are four ways the player can fail this mission. He/She could leave the car lot, kill the customer, let the sales bar reach zero, or let the time drop to zero.
In the PlayStation Portable version of the game, playing the mission for too long will result in the PCJ-600 not spawning at all, negating the opportunity to gain completion.

& the FLASHING LIGHTS saga continues
This has excited me so much! This morning has been officially brightened, regardless of the sun's attitude problem...So this is part II, or like the re-do of video one...So we see girl, who is clearly rich, a model I would assume...right off the bat we can see that she may be a bit of an alchie, considering she makes her egg and toasts with a mixed drink at her side (and its only like 2 pm). So all while she's eating I'm waiting for her to go puke it up..but she never does..then she goes partying, fucks kanye i think (not a bad deal), and then somewhere in there goes down a dark musty alley, drunk as shit and gets mugged and raped--and to think I thought she was buying cocaine...This makes more sense to me, it has everything to do with "she dont believe in shootin stars, but she believes in shoes n cars.." YEP, the party life aint what its cracked up to be type shit...yea right. On a side note it looks like something a VCU art student would make...kudos to kanyeezy

Wordless Wednesday - Do Princesses Kiss Toads?
During an evening shower two weeks back we found this toad outside our front door. He/She had better stay away. My daughter's life goal is to become a princess. I'm sure kissing a frog/toad has crossed her mind.
Hopefully reading Do Princesses Really Kiss Frogs? by Carmela LaVigna Coyle has helped clarify the situation. We picked up a copy at the library. Highly recommended for all princesses by nature. Watch out for the hidden dragon! Adorable, clever illustrations by Mike Gordon.
Find more of this week's Wordless Wednesday (or Wordful) posts at 5 Minutes for Mom or Seven Clown Circus.

A federal judge Wednesday sentenced former NFL player Travis Henry to three years in prison for financing a drug ring that moved cocaine between Colorado and Montana. Henry, 30, of Frostproof, Fla., was arrested by federal drug agents last October — just a few months after the running back's release from the Denver Broncos.
He pleaded guilty in April to a single count of conspiracy to traffic cocaine. In handing down Wednesday's sentence, U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull in Billings also gave Henry five years of probation and recommended he enter a 500-hour drug treatment program.
Completion of the treatment program could knock off up to a year from Henry's sentence. His attorney, Harvey Steinberg, said that with additional time off for good behavior Henry could be out of prison within 16 months.
Henry has said that at the time of his arrest, he was struggling to keep up with child support payments after fathering at least nine children with nine women. But Cebull said it was Henry's addiction to marijuana that destroyed the his career and ultimately landed him in federal court.
"This is a unique case in that you're a unique individual. You're a heck of a football player," Cebull said. "You are not unique in this sense: your drug habit." Cebull and the defense described Henry as a minor player in the Denver cocaine ring and said he had been ensnared in the conspiracy by a friend....
Defense attorney Steinberg had asked for leniency and said Henry turned to cocaine trafficking out of desperation. He said Henry went into a "downward spiral" after losing $40,000 in drug proceeds that were stolen from a house in Billings.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Thaggard argued for a sentence of at least 33 months. "Mr. Henry did have it all, in a sense, and he lost it. That's unfortunate," Thaggard said. "The bottom line is this was a significant conspiracy to move a substantial quantity of drugs."
A lot of people complain about the inconsistency in these sentences between guys like Henry and Vick on the one hand, and Dante Stallworth -- who is already out of jail -- on the other, keeping in mind that only the latter recklessly killed a human, not that the other two have not committed serious crimes. But the thread is easy to explain: Henry and Vick were sentenced in federal court, where the sentences are almost uniformly harsh (think Bernie Madoff receiving a sentence four or fives times his life expectancy). And, under the advisory Guidelines, there is some, but not a ton, of wiggle room.
Stallworth on the other hand was sentenced in state court, where the rules vary and all bets can be off. Part of the chagrin by people complaining about the inconsistency is the unreasonable expectation that sentences will be consistent across the country. Yet maybe that's not so unreasonable, and our sentencing should be brought into line.
The one counterpoint is Plaxico Burress, who faces a mandatory minimum sentence of two years in a state proceeding (whether he believes it or not). But again this is just another brand of the same problem: the harsh and high mandatory minimum sentences, that themselves can create inconsistencies. Plaxico faces years of jail time for carrying a gun (something many people believe is a fundamental individual right), while Stallworth is in and out in the blink of an eye after killing someone while engaging in maybe the most fatal and reckless behavior around: drunk driving.
I note this because if there is any good that can come from these horrible stories about people like Travis Henry going from NFL player to penitentiary all-star is that maybe people can begin to understand why these strange inconsistencies exist. It took me quite some time to see them.

From Anti State St. Louis
Over the last few hours thousands of dollars have been streaming in from all over the world to support those arrested over the last few days in Ferguson, Missouri. This support is incredible and breath-taking, and sadly our previous link is not set-up to handle this level of activity.
Please, please, please, circulate this new link and continue donating.
Original call for donations:
A bail and legal fund has been established to support the 43 or so people who have been arrested during the anti-police demonstrations in Ferguson, Mo. Please spread the word widely and help us get some money together to get these people out.
All funds collected will be used to support those arrested during the demonstrations–their bail money, fines, legal funds, or other related expenses. In the unlikely event that there are additional funds, they will be used to support people resisting police repression and police violence in the future. Thank you.

Chorioamnionitis [chor-y-oh-am-nee-oh-NY-tis] is an infection of the placenta and the amniotic fluid. Only a few women get it, but, it is a common cause of preterm labor and delivery.
Chorioamnionitis is most often caused by bacteria commonly found in the vagina. It happens more often when the amniotic sac is broken for a long time before birth. This lets bacteria in the vagina move up into the uterus.
You are more likely to have this infection if:
The symptoms of may be slightly different for each person. They may include:
The symptoms of sometimes can look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your provider will ask about your past health. He or she will give you a physical exam. He or she may be able to diagnose chorioamnionitis just by your symptoms. You may also need a lab test to check for infection.
Your healthcare provider may suggest a test called amniocentesis, although this test is not routinely done for chorioamnionitis. During this test, your healthcare provider uses a needle to take a small amount of amniotic fluid for testing.
Your healthcare provider will figure out the best treatment for you and your baby based on:
Antibiotics are used to treat chorioamnionitis as soon as the infection is found. Your healthcare provider may encourage you to deliver your baby early. This can prevent complications for you and your baby. You may need to keep taking antibiotics after your baby is born.
Chorioamnionitis can cause a dangerous blood infection in the mother called bacteremia. This can cause the baby to be born early. It can also cause a serious infection in the newborn, such as pneumonia, meningitis, brain damage, or death.
If your bag of waters breaks early (premature rupture of membranes), antibiotics lowers the chance of chorioamnionitis. It is also helps limit the number of vaginal exams before and during labor.
If your membranes rupture, tell your healthcare provider right away. Other symptoms that call for urgent attention include:
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:

Boart names Newmont boss new CEO
Drilling company Boart Longyear has appointed Richard O'Brien, the outgoing boss of gold producer Newmont Mining, as its new chief executive.
The group also said Barbara Jeremiah would take over as chairman from March 1, replacing David McLemore who is stepping down from the job but remaining on the board.
Boart said Mr O'Brien was expected to start in the top job on April 1, replacing Craig Kipp who was sacked last October after four years at the company's helm.
News of the two major appointments came as Boart announced a 57 per cent slump in full year profit.
Net profit for the year to December 31 fell to $US68.2 million ($A66.58 million) from $US159.9 million ($A156.10 million) in the previous year, reflecting the global slowdown in mining activity in the second half.
Revenue was flat at $US2.01 billion ($A1.96 billion) from $US2.02 billion ($A1.97 billion).
The group slashed its final partly-franked dividend to one US cent a share from 5.6 US cents.
The total dividend for the year fell to 7.4 US cents from 10.4 US cents.
Mr McLemore said conditions had stabilised across Boart's key markets and the revenue run-rate over 2013 would mirror the second half of 2012.
"We remain alert to an uptick in activity and with a leaner cost base, the company is positioned to respond rapidly and profitably to meet new demand as and when it emerges," he said in a statement.
"A key focus over the near term will be reviewing processes across the business leading to a cost and debt structure that is more resilient to down cycles."
Mr McLemore said Boart expected to extract more costs from the business in the first half of 2013.
Mr McLemore has served as Boart's interim chief executive since last October and chairman since August 2010.
Ms Jeremiah said Mr O'Brien was well suited to lead Boart.
"Richard's strategic focus, financial expertise and appreciation for the complexities of operating globally will benefit the company and our shareholders," she said.
Mr O'Brien said he looked forward to "building upon the company's remarkable heritage and innovative spirit to deliver increased value to Boart Longyear's customers and shareholders".
Boart's shares were down four cents, or 1.87 per cent, to $2.10 at 7.30am.

MOSCOW (AP) — Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Thursday called on Russia to support his peace plan "with deeds, not words" as a weeklong cease-fire between government troops and pro-Russian rebels is set to expire late Friday.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said they too were looking for more action from Russia ahead of a summit on Friday of European Union leaders who will be reviewing their sanctions against Moscow.
More than 300 people have been killed in eastern Ukraine in the past weeks as pro-Russian insurgents fought with government forces. Ukraine last Friday announced a unilateral cease-fire with the rebels. Some rebel groups said they would observe the cease-fire as well.
Even so, 18 government troops have been killed this week, Poroshenko said.
Speaking at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg on Thursday, Poroshenko called for Moscow to support his peace plan with deeds and, specifically, prevent armed separatists from crossing the Russian border into Ukraine.
"Without that, we cannot talk about peace," Poroshenko said. "Do support the peace plan with deeds, not words, because with these deeds we will stop the killing of civilians and the military who defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state."
Kerry, speaking in Paris, said "it is critical for Russia to show in the next hours, literally, that they're moving to help disarm the separatists, to encourage them to disarm."
EU leaders will be meeting Thursday evening in Ypres and Friday in Brussels, and will weigh the need to impose new sanctions on Russia over its actions in Ukraine. EU officials have said tougher economic sanctions have been prepared and are ready for use.
Merkel also stressed the importance for Russia to show its commitments "in the coming hours," saying that Germany will "have to decide how we will further proceed" on possible sanctions against Russia after a meeting with Poroshenko on Friday.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he supports the plan. This week he won agreement from the upper chamber of the parliament to cancel authorization for the use of force in Ukraine.
Putin and Merkel had a telephone conversation on Thursday, discussing "the need to extend the cease-fire" in Ukraine and release people held by armed rebels in eastern Ukraine, the Kremlin said.
Poroshenko also announced that representatives of the mutinous regions have agreed to sit down to talks with the Russian ambassador, a former Ukrainian president representing Poroshenko, and an OSCE envoy. The first round of these talks was held on Monday, bringing rebel leaders to the negotiating table for the first time.
Angela Charlton and Lara Jakes in Paris, Juergen Baetz in Berlin and John-Thor Dahlburg in Brussels contributed to this report.

There's a Law Protecting Your Airplane Peanuts
The Department of Transportation is facing some big issues in the friendly skies these days, like sleeping air traffic controllers and the safety of First Lady Michelle Obama. But one issue stands apart: your right to eat nuts on an airplane.
Sadly, many people are allergic to one of America's favorite snacks. This led the DoT to poll travelers last year seeking a solution: An outright ban, a peanut "buffer zone" around allergic passengers, or a ban when one is requested pre-flight by an allergic passenger. All pretty bad options if you enjoy eating nuts. But alas, none of these options are even legal! In a statement, the DoT said:
The Department is prohibited by law from restricting the serving of peanuts aboard aircraft unless a peer-reviewed study determines that serving of peanuts causes severe reactions among airline passengers. There has been no such peer-reviewed study, so we declined to take action at this time.
Too bad, allergic people!

The 21-credit minor in writing is an excellent complement to a degree in any other field. Students in this minor come from all five schools at the College and represent a wide variety of majors.
General Requirements
For students who matriculated at Ithaca College in Fall 2014 and later, all writing minors take Argument. Minors must then take one of these three courses: Personal Essay OR Writing for the Workplace OR Creative Nonfiction. Five additional courses (or 15 credits) complete the minor. Of these five, two (6 credits) must be at the 300 level. Only two courses at the 100 level may count toward the writing minor.
Students who matriculated before Fall 2014 should check the catalog for the academic year that they started at Ithaca College. Your catalog year is listed on your Student Information page on HomerConnect. The catalog for that academic year will show the Writing minor requirements that apply to you.
Other Opportunities
Seniors who qualify may propose independent studies or serve as an apprentice to a professor in a first-year writing course. Also, for students with the appropriate preparatory courses, credit-bearing internships are available locally during the academic year. The department also sponsors a credit-bearing summer internship program in writing and publishing at both national and local sites, as well as at the London Center. Internships are in journalism, publishing, public relations, and writing for corporate and non-profit organizations.
For more information, please contact Professor David Flanagan, writing minor coordinator
